In today's email, @austinlukasik.bsky.social sat down with Sal Solorio, who wrote the first piece ever published by PJP. They discussed what he wanted people to take away from his story, and he shared how its publication on PJP gave him confidence. Give it a read and consider supporting our work.

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Journalist Mario Guevara is being deported because the American government punishes reporters to protect its own power. We should all be outraged. freedom.press/issues/mario...

Yes, I did sound the alarm on agentic AI's privacy threat, and rightly so. observer.com/2025/07/sign...
